My reading goals have been off the charts the past few years and it makes me so happy! I love reading so much, it brings me so much joy and is such an essential part of my mental health/self-care routine. I am nothing without reading.

This year, I set a goal of 75 books. Last year, I set a goal of 60 books and I read 88. This year, I hit my goal around August and was pleased with that... it didn't look like I was going to exceed last year's goal actual number because truthfully, the books I was reading this year were not hitting as much as year's past.

I don't know if I was reading too many books, or trying to read genres that I didn't love, or was just picking books that didn't align with what I was looking for. I 'DNFed' more books this year than ever before and I'm semi-proud of that. I'm glad I didn't force myself to read books I didn't love.

In the end though, I'll be ending the year reading 90 books. I'm so proud of that and I'm so excited to discuss my favorite books of 2022. This will be books I read this year, not books that were released in 2022. 

Let's get into it!
